could not) be written to the standard output in interactive mode or to the
output file CMPRINT in batch mode.

The location of the NATLOG file is the
TEMP directory of Natural (specified in the local configuration
file NATURAL.INI). If this path is unknown, Natural
creates the file in the current directory.
Natural tries to create the following file name, if the
user-ID/et-ID
information could be retrieved:
NATURAL_<user-ID>_<et-ID>.LOG
If user-ID and
et-ID could not be retrieved, then the
following file name is used: NATURAL.LOG.
A Natural batch process is running with
user-ID=SYSTEM and
et-ID=14, then the resulting file name
is NATURAL_SYSTEM_14.LOG.
If the user-ID could not be
retrieved (which is the case if an error occurs during the initialization phase
of Natural), then the resulting file name is
NATURAL.LOG.
The following example shows the contents of a Natural log file. At top of the file, there is a header with some environment information, for example the Natural Version, the parameter file currently in use and so on. Two entries follow. The first one an entry which displays the I/O channels needed for batch mode. The second entry shows an error message. Both messages are counted in the statistics summary.
